(Ly Curaikow-Rionda Company.)
NEW YORK. July 27 Notwithstand
ing that our refiners last week secured
over 100,K tons of raws, principally
ior August shipment, there has been
no check to the advancing course of
the market initiated some time ago.
Shortly after opening of the current
week, when refiners had obtained ad
ditional moderate quantities at the
last quotation of 5.625c. cJ., the price
of August shipment Cubas advanced
other .06c per lb. to 5.69c, c.f. (6.71c!
This was followed by a further seriea
of rapid advances which, at the close,
has brought Cubas up to 5.94c. c.f.
(6.96c), which is the highest point
reached since outbreak of the Euro
pean war. The spot quotation was
raised .24c. per lb. to 6.89c. basis 96
deg.
It is significant that, despite this
recent sharp advance, the week's total
reported business aggregates only
about 27.000 tons Cubas and 5,000 tons
Porto Rlcos, the latter description
having sold as high as 6.77c. deliver
ed New York. The reason for this is
doubtless to be found in the influence
of the knowledge that only about 175,
000 tons of the present stocks in Cuba
remain unsold, in conjunction with the
fact that as regards the balance of
about a like quantity estimated as still
to be produced this campaign, plant
ers are reluctant to commit them
selves for future delivery, owing to
uncertainty on their part as to wheth
er ruling estimates will actually be
attained. In his connection it may be
said that heavy rains now falling in
those sections of the Island in which
come Centrals still continue at work
is bound to curtail their output from
now on.
Another factor of much importance
has been a continued active demand
for the refined product for both do
mestic use and for export, at a time
when the total Btocks of 222,274 tons
in all bands at the Atlantic ports are
64,769 tons less than those of a year
ago, and of which no part is at pres
ent for account of importers as com
pared with 114,026 tons held by them
at the corresponding date In 1916.
The recent appearance of Canadian
refiners in this market for moderate
quantities of Cubas, for which they
yesterday paid as much as 5.94c. c.f.
New York, forecasts further buying
from that quarter. The necessity for
such procedure is understood to have
arisen from the very limited quantity
remaining available from the British
West Indies for Canadian require
ments, large purchases , by United
Kingdom having made deep inroads
uponJthia source ot'?pp$, . f
As Indicated by the foregoing short
outline of the outstanding features, it
cannot be denied that the situation is
now stronger than it has been at any
period since the World war started,
and the main cause for this present
strength of the sugar market is the
Inability, through scarcity of tonnage
for the purpose, to ship sugar from
Java to Europe. Owing to this latter
condition of affairs, the Island of
Cuba, with a smaller production this
campaign than last, has had to be the
principal source of supply for the
'sugar demands of both the United
States and Europe.

HAWAIIAN SUGAR
$109 INSTATES
The average price received to. date
for Hawaiian sugar is approximately
$109 per ton for that shipped to the
Pacific Coast refineries and $105 for
that shipped to the Atlantic Coast re
fineries, according to local sugar men
who have been following the market
closely. The difference of $4 between
the Pacific and Atlantic coasts is
taken up in the added freight rates.
The exact figures at this time arts
impossible to obtain due to the slow
ness of the returns being received
here from the east. According to E.
A. R. Ross, treasurer of C. Brewer
Co., of the last sixteen shipments sent
to the Atlantic coast only remittance
for five have been received here. This
is due to the freight congestion on the
mainland. Those from the Pacific re
fineries are received more promptly
but the price of shipments as a whole
cannot be figured accurately.

FIRST RUN oVTrlADERA
MILL PRODUCED GOLD
A report from E. W. Shanks, vice
president of the Madera Gold Mining
Company, says that the mill valueB
are better than anticipated and a
clean-up will be held August 27.
The mill was started August 5 and
ran for four hours without the
slightest difficulty. 20 tons being put
through. Gold could be seen on the
plates 15 minutes after the mill was
started. By the first of -next week it
is expected that the mill will be run
ning full capacity of 100 tons.
SMELTER RETURNS OF
MONTANA-BINGHAM $7000
According to a report received this
morning from Jorgen Jorgensen, who
is now visiting the Montana-Bingham
properties, from July 31 to August 14
the smelter returns totaled $7000
while the ore mined and concentrates
which are ready for shipment amount
to approximately $10,000. All efforts
are now concentrated on the devel
opment of Fortuna and the main tun
nel, which are turning out 60 tons
daily with an average of 24 per
cent copper. Only a little work is
being done on the Valentine.

$977,176,026 IN GOLD IMPORTED.
According to figures just compiled
by the Statistical Division of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce of the Department of Com
merce, imports of gold Into the United
States in the fiscal year ending June
30, 1917, far exceed tne total of any
previous year.
The total movement of fold and sil
ver between the United States and
foreign countries during the fiscal
year involved $1,382,380,745. The Im
ports of gold amounted to $977,176,026
and of silver to $3,003,563. Gold ex
ports amounted to $291,921,225, and
silver exports to $78,279,931.
The net Imports of gold during the
fiscal year aggregated $685,254,801,
which is a noticeable Increase over the
net Imports of $403,7&).733 in 1916.
Net exports of silver showed an in
crease in 1917; but as silver is pro
duced in great quantities in this coun
try and is sold abroad in the same
manner as other commercial commodt
ties, an excess of exporu therefor has
no such significance as might be at
tributed to a simi'.&r movement in
gold.
FALLING MARKETS HIT
SPECULATORS IN FOWLS
CHICAGO, III. A falling market
has caught speculators in dressed
Doultrv in the United States with
more than . 51,000,000 pounds of the
cold storage proauct on tneir nanas,
according to local dealers, who blame
a bie crOD. disappointing volume of
exports and high prices for the con
dition.
The result is, according to the deal
ers, that in a last effort to dispose of
their stocks at a minimum loss,
frozen cold storage poultry, some of
It two years old, is now being sold as
fresh killed Iced stock by some of the
speculators.
xtmt of th suoDlles are said to
have been accumulated last fall at the
highest prices in history, in the belief
that European countries would flood
the market with orders. This has
not been done.
TtaAlera here assert that the specu
lators, by their methods, were respon
sible for an increase last iaii in
orices of from 3 to 5 cents per pound
on cold storage poultry.
